AK being so likeable ...
shite people say when he plays well.

Last season, this place shite on him when he was playing injured.

In the offseason, this place shite on him when he took to Twitter to bash Brees.


Leads the NFL in TDs, and he's sooooooo likeable.


FWIW, I have no take on whether he is or isn't likeable, but just pointing out his likeability is 100% tied to whether he's playing well or not.

I’m not sure why anyone didn’t comprehend that he was hurt pretty badly. There were multiple reports that he had a high ankle sprain snd missed multiple games due to that injury. What other info did anyone need to realize the guy was hurt?

Yet, despite all of his success, Kamara says he's the same person he was before he got famous. "Ain't nothing changed," he told Sports Illustrated. "I'm still here." In fact, what he did with his signing bonus was both simple and responsible. First, he tucked most of it away for later. Then he hit up his favorite wing spot.

"I got my signing bonus and I put that shite in the bank and I went and got some motherfricking wings," he says.


Yeah, he's up there as one of my favorite Saints of all time.

the appearance of his play last year was like he didn't care that much sometimes.

The dude was in pain, everyone expresses it differently.

Anyone with a brain knew he was hurt and that was why.

Ak is such a deadly back.
If you think about it, they haven't really been using him too much in the passing game the last 5 or 6 games.

Hopefully we see ak on some wheel routes in the playoffs.
I think he ran one in the chicqgo game

It doesn’t take away why you were confused on him being injured. There were multiple articles written about his high ankle sprain and knee injury. That isn’t a good enough reason for him to not be as effective? We just had one of if not our best players miss damn near the entire season with a high ankle sprain. Why was anyone confused why Kamara wasn’t himself last year even based off the info we knew?

knee injury


Let’s be specific, it was a torn MCL. That’s pretty damn serious

I agree. Him And Thomas are completely different outside of football.

I just like his vibe man. Seems like an awesome dude to hang out with... kinda like an old hippy, free spirited guy. lol


At first, I thought, Ricky Williams 2.0.

But Kamara has really impressed me, in his game and in his personality. He's different. I don't know if his personality would work in a lot of NFL cities. But it fits here just fine.

Kamara imo may be one of maybe 3 guys that are irreplaceable on this team

Lol. We appreciate you not understanding a high ankle sprain will have serious effects on a players ability.

I wasn't one of the people bashing him, but it's simple. Kamara is a superstar, so you expect a superstar performance. When he doesn't perform to the level he is expected people get upset. Hill is a really good athlete with grit and determination. Hill currently isn't a superstar so when he plays above what people expect he gets praise. Hill is one of my favorite players. I wish he would become our full time tight end and still fill in at other positions. I'd like to see him on the field more honestly.

Honestly Sean Payton and the medical staff should have taken more heat for not shutting him down.
